On November 21, 2019, Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck at Tesla's design studio in Hawthorne, California. The electric pickup had an unpainted stainless-steel body and a sharp, angular design that looked unlike any other truck.
During the event, a designer threw a steel ball at the truck's window to show off its "armor glass." The glass cracked, and the moment became widely shared online.
Tesla said it took many orders. Production was delayed, and the first customer deliveries took place on November 30, 2023, at an event at Giga Texas.
